Eine meiner Nachrichtenquellen aus den USA, die "Sex News Daily", berichtet über einen geschiedenen Mann, der seinen Unterhalt an den neuen Ehemann seiner Ex-Frau entrichten muss, nachdem seine Ex-Frau starb:

--- (...) Lots of divorced men feel they got the short end of the stick. But the award for Really Getting Screwed goes to a civil servant in Mainz, Germany. He has a pension of around 1,400 Euros (USD $1,566) a month, which he's been splitting with his ex-wife. According to German law, the ex-spouse with the smaller pension has a right to receive part of the other's pension to achieve parity. But then the ex-wife died, and our hero thought he was finally free to enjoy his full pension. Not so fast, said a German court. The court ruled that the ex-wife's husband should inherit her share of our hero's pension, and therefore our hero has to continue paying a share . . . to him. Read the full story on ABC News:
